Aaron Edelheit - Mindset Mastery

Bill invited Aaron to stop by The Business Brew to have some fun and do a 4/20 episode.  While the conversation does touch on cannabis, the more important parts of the conversation involve Aaron's philosophy of work life balance.  Aaron is a strong advocate of the 24/6 workweek.  He is a staunch advocate of observing a work sabbath weekly.  We hope there is wisdom and entertainment in this episode.
